2022 Altos Las Hormigas "Reserve" Malbec Valle De Uco Mendoza
95
Descorchados
Review Date: 01/2025This is one of the pillars of the Altos Las Hormigas portfolio and has been produced since the late 1990s, when the winery bet everything on malbec. This version, as usual, is a blend based on Altamira's own vineyards (80%) and Gualtallary (20%), both in the Uco Valley. It is a precise photograph, in HD, of Andean malbec. Violets and ripe red fruits, a palate rich in those tannins of calcareous soils that feel like chalk, the light weight, but the firm and taut structure. Due to depth of flavors, due to Andean character, this is the best version of this wine that we at Descorchados have tried.

Based in Mendoza, Altos Las Hormigas was founded in the mid-1990s by Italian winemakers. The estate originally championed Malbec but has since expanded its portfolio to include distinctive white blends that reflect the region’s unique soils and climate. Altos Las Hormigas emphasizes minimal intervention and organic practices, aiming to express the natural character of each vineyard site.
